My Buick is fun and has turned 22K miles in a year. Great mileage- up to 33mpg during summer and 29 during the winter for my commute. Bought it to have AWD and its done well by me. Love how the dealer treats me - McAndrew King is full of good people.

I was in the market for a new car. We came across a leftover 2016 Buick Encore at a local dealer. After a test drive we decided to buy. The ride was good and noise level was quiet. The only downfall was the interior space. The passenger seat does not come with an armrest - so the driver has to share at times. Also the sifter is below the area of the armrest, so if sharing it makes shifting rough.

I love my Buick but it's pretty small for an SUV. It doesn't have a center console and isn't very roomy in the backseat. In order for an infant seat to fit, I have to push the passenger side all the way up. I wouldn't recommend for a large family but is perfect for 1-2 people. Other than space, my Buick is awesome and a smooth ride!

We recently bought our second Encore because my wife liked my '13. Obviously we like the car: mileage, style, handling, size, interior, etc.
However, one negative bugs me. On both Encores the screen which displays OnStar, radio, etc will go dim and is hard to read. Buick Service tells me they can do nothing unless it happens when I bring it in for service. So far that hasn't happened. Several calls to Buick Customer Service were not helpful. In one call a technician admitted that they have had other similar complaints. There doesn't seem to be any consistent cause for the screen to go dim. It just happens.

We have been shopping for a new car for my wife. She wanted a small SUV. We looked at options from all the brands, and narrowed it down to a few. After test drives, the Encore provided the best in overall value and style. It is a sharp looking vehicle, and provides a ton of features for the money. There are not many vehicles in this price range that have memory seats and a heated steering wheel. If you are looking for sporty handilng and performance, this is not the vehicle for you. But if you are looking for affordable comfort and luxury, this is it. It is comfortable and quiet. We ordered a new 2016 in Rosewood. She can't wait till it comes in.

I had the opportunity to ride as a backseat passenger. There are no vent ports for the AC or heat to get to the back passengers. The ride was terrible, the shock absorbers slammed up to the frame on most potholes and manhole covers. I'll have my dealers shop check for defective shocks, probably nothing can be done about the ventilation problem.

Love Buicks! I traded in my Lucerne (which I loved dearly) for an Encore ST because my driving now consists of running errands around town. I rarely do highway driving anymore so the Encore is great for parking and zipping around. It is only 2 months old now but I can say that, based on my experience with other Buicks in my lifetime, it will be just perfect. I like the extra visibility and zippyness (word?) It is a very classy little car and I think it is a head above a lot of others. The rear camera screen when backing up could use some kind of anti-glare as the sun will just block it out. I chose the ST for the extra horsepower.
